Now young Scalia? What a hunk!
*not technically Antonin, but 100% Scalia
What does 6/10 refer to? Iâm probably giving you the benefit of the doubt and being naive because quantifying someones looks in the moment we are in would be a fucking abysmal take and would be the exact opposite of ârespect for the dead.â
FuncrusherPlus, name checks out, 10/10 accuracy, would scold again.
Thatâs exactly what heâs doing. Meet SenorKeed, heâs been awful for years.

Itâs also a lie because she was ugly on the outside ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I think the pic is stunning which is really besides the point.
You think judging someoneâs exterior aesthetics in this very moment is fun? I actually had you pegged as someone dropping informed, though unpopular, takes that acted as pragmatic anchors in a sea of progressives.
This post is extremely disappointing.
The post was satirical, poking fun at someone who actually would unironically do such a thing. Obviously itâs stupid to critique a recently deceased personâs looks. Thought the follow up post calling Scalia a hunk would tip people off, and it took me like ten minutes to find a Hot Scalia picture!

No worries, satire isnât always easy to see on the internet and I guess it doesnât fit in with the tone and mindset of the thread. My fault probably.

Heâs not naming the nominee until Friday, seems the vote may be after the election. They must think it will help electorally to wait.
Strategically, seating a new justice before the election is a mistake if you believe that it will lead to retaliation via further unraveling of ânormsâ and âtraditionsâ. These norms (like not creating new states just because you can) all serve to entrench the status quo and inherently favor conservatives.
I canât see how putting these in jeopardy is worth pushing a 5-4 edge to 6-3 when you are still 25% to win the election anyways. Also, thereâs no coherent argument that this helps the GOPâs electoral chances, and some arguments that it hurts. Like there is some theoretical evangelical voter that does not like Trump and now gives themselves permission to sit this one out.
This might sound sarcastic, but itâs not. Whatâs the difference between him nominating someone right now vs on Friday? Iâm failing to understand the leap to they must be voting to confirm after the election.
It only helps electorally to wait if you say that the confirmation depends on the outcome of the election. If you say this and then break your word, then it provides even more permission for the Dems to retaliate. Seems worse strategically.
In any case, I donât think this impacts the election much one or way or another. I really think the main variable here in terms of strategy is how likely is it that the Dems will retaliate. If you believe that pushing through the Justice has any material impact on things like removing the filibuster, adding states, etc then it doesnât seem like itâs worth it. If you are pretty sure the Dems wonât do anything either way, then getting it done before the election seems superior.
Iâm assuming they will at least go through the motions of âvetting,â holding hearings, etc. Leaving basically 30 days, at a time when several members need to go home to campaign, means it would have to be easily the fastest confirmation ever. Obviously possible but if they were hell bent on jamming this through pre-election they wouldnât wait a week to announce for no reason.

Arenât most (if not all?) of the senators who need to go home and campaign vulnerable Republicans?
This is yet another example of âthey seem really sure theyâre going to win.â Hopefully theyâre just arrogant and stupid but who knows.
To me it is a slam dunk to get a loyalist on the court before the election to change the swing vote from Roberts to Gorsuch for any election-related litigation. Waiting - to gain a possibly non-existent electoral advantage in a race youâre losing - doesnât make sense, especially considering it will be even MORE offensive to Democrats if a right wing judge is confirmed after a Biden victory.
Either they donât care about the blowback because they think the Democrats are pussies who wonât actually do anything (probable) or they think theyâre going to win so who cares how bad it looks (possible).
Even in these dark times itâs nice to find ways to LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I see no reason why Mitch couldnât do the hearing in a week, heâs got plenty of time.
